I
wanted to do this long back when that day arrived, when the clock ticked twelve
and the whole world was busy celebrating the New Year in a hope that with this
new beginning new hopes would arrive in their life. Since I was unavailable I couldn’t
do what I always wanted to do. Blog about the entire year experience compiled
in a nutshell and post it as soon as the clock ticked 00:00.
When
I look back today, the year 2013 has been the most exciting year of my life so
far in which I had experienced a lot of things which in some way has made me a
good human being, changed the course of my life and gave a new perspective to
look at life. When the year 2013 started, that time I was busy expanding our
online magazine Wake India Now (WIN). We wanted to reach out to as many people
as we could and hopefully to a certain extent we succeeded in achieving that. I
had experienced the thrill of life in the entire year whether it was chilling
out with friends in places like Goa, Pondi, Bangalore or getting rejections
after rejections in all the interviews I went in. When all my hopes was lost
somewhere, deep within I knew that sooner or later I am going to make it. It is
just a matter of time. I received over ten rejection letters from different publishing
houses where I had sent my book for getting published. It took me almost three
and a half years to complete that book and in one stroke it felt like as if my
whole effort was going into vain. And then suddenly on one fine evening in the
month of February the sun winked at me and I got a green signal from one such
publishing house who were actually glad with my work and wanted to work with me
on my book. However I was asked to wait and whole year went by in the wait, the
wait for the final confirmation, the wait for that one mail saying we would like to publish your book. However
the wait is still on and I hope that day will arrive very soon in my life when I
will have what I always dreamt of.
Life
is unpredictable and it was throughout the year 2013. Whenever I thought that
now things were falling back to its right places, always it was erupted by the
truth of life leaving my hopes in despair. Every day was passed thinking when
this phase will get over when I will see the shinning bright sun, when life
will surprise me with its surprises when I will see the light in the end of
this endless tunnel. From feeling loved to be left isolated, from being angry
to jumping out of joy over small small things, I have experienced almost every
feeling existing in this world. And now when the year 2013 is over, I feel glad
about it. I feel glad about all those happiness that came into my life, be it
small or big. About all those tough times when I was sailing through the rough
sea standing tall in front of every storm and getting up every time after being
fallen. Moreover the fact that I had spent one more year of my life chasing my
dreams gives me the immense feeling of satisfaction and happiness.
I
feel glad about every little mad thing I did. I feel glad about all those
meetings with people whom I came across. I feel glad about all the decisions
that I made which somehow brought my life to a right path and a step closer to
my destination. And whatever bad happened should be left from the past and
making sure that we learnt from it, learnt about those mistakes that we committed
hoping won’t be repeating in future.
And
with that hope I would like to share a very nice quote which says,
“Enjoy
your youth. You will never be this young again ever in your life. So sit back,
relax and take a deep breathe…”
